Back to Work.

The thought of missing this face for 40 hours each week makes me sick to my stomach. Do you know how many missed kisses, smiles, and snuggles that equates to? A LOT. After I had Sky, I was dying to go back to work. I did not enjoy being home 24/7. This time? I want nothing more than to hang with Ben and smell his sweet baby smells all day long.

I’m so thankful I had 4 1/2 months with him but why does it feel like I just blinked and it’s over?

LIFE IS SO HARD. Argh.

P.S - We had a follow up with our peditrician yesterday and his motor skills are fine. She thinks he just needed a week to catch up. He's a perfectly normal baby!! Glad I trusted my instincts and got her opinion, which I trust more than the fill-in doc we visited earlier in the month. Now, we have another new challenge to deal with just in time for me to go back...Ben is refusing the bottle!!! He's been exclusively nursing with the exception of a few bottles here and there {which were no problem before} but now he wants nothing to do with them. I ordered some different nipples to try so i'm crossing my fingers we can find something he likes!

Ugh, I feel your pain about going back to work! It is the hardest thing to do. At least you got a nice long maternity leave! Have you tried Tommee Tippee bottles? The nipples are really soft and a lot like a boob. Wishing you the best!!!
